The Destiny Website now offers the promised first details about Bungie's upcoming mystery game. This will be a first-person shooter, but our hopes that Bungie's emancipation from Microsoft might lead them towards the light of the PC (the proper platform for FPS games) are dashed for the moment by word that this is coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, promising: "Unprecedented variety of FPS gameplay, including story, cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes combined with public and social activities." This will be an online game, and there are previews on Wired.com (thanks Neutronbeam) and Kotaku outlining Bungie's ambitions for this project. Here's a trailer.

I don't have an issue with this game being Halo-esque (despite the fact that I don't like Halo), nor do I have an issue with the game being console-exclusive (since I don't care about it). I do take issue with Bungie's ignorant statement regarding shooters on PC, though:

I'm not sure how they can make that statement with a straight face. Nobody likes using M/KB for shooters anymore? Really? Tell that to the millions of PC gamers who play TF2, CS, CoD, BF, Planetside, Tribes, UT, Quake, Natural Selection, etc, on a daily basis. Seriously, Jason Jones must be the most retarded person in the games industry. Amazing stupidity.
